2013 Art and Education Remixed

This year’s theme explores the act of (re)interpreting, (re)defining, and combining various approaches to practice and/or theory.

We are considering remix as a way to investigate “originality.” As artists and educators, we draw from the theory and practices that surround our daily experiences. Therefore, everything we attempt in our practice can be considered remix: what we teach, how we teach, what we produce, who has power, and where we find inspiration. Everything around us is source material. Nothing is ever destroyed – it simply changes form.

Based on the idea of remix we invite students, educators, researchers, artists, community based advocates, museum professionals to submit a proposal that explores the following questions:

How do we create new ideas and experiences in art and education?

What type of remixing do we practice or encounter as artists and educators?

How might your students explore the idea of remix?

In what ways do you incorporate theory into your practice (art or teaching or both)?

What is the value of remixing, or even recognizing that we remix in our practice?

What constitutes productive remix?

What approaches best foster remix in the learning environment?

Who has the power to remix?

How do you transform material in your teaching or artmaking practice? Does this constitute remix?
